Carlos was great to work with. I hired him to handle my lighting on a reno project and he was quick and efficient to install new lighting throughout the house and added can lights in the kitchen. He later came to my rescue when a previous contractor didn’t work out and was quick to pick up the add’l work installing new flooring, a ceiling repair, painting and fixing a tile backsplash in the kitchen. Thanks to him, I was finally able to sell my property and everyone complemented the finishes especially, thanks to Carlos!!

I am very pleased about my experience with Keith and United States Sewer & Water. We wanted an additional outside faucet installed in our home. Keith came over the same day that I entered the request in Thumbtack. He went into the crawl space to check out the best way to do the installation, and he made some excellent recommendations for the project. For example, he suggested installing a shut-off valve inside a kitchen cabinet so I wouldn't have to go into the crawl space to turn the water supply off in the winter and back on again in the spring. He did the installation Saturday, along with his helper Steven. They're both very nice and did a great job. The finished job looks very neat, and they cleaned everything up afterwards. Keith was also very good about contacting me to let me know when they would be arriving. I also thought the price was very fair. Keith had given me a rough cost estimate when he first checked out the project, and the final bill was very close to that estimate. I'll be contacting Keith first for any future plumbing projects or repairs.

Mr. Johnson did an excellent job installing my bathroom sink. Though the previous installation was done wrong, he fixed it and secured it so no further damage would occur. He also made a repair to my kitchen sink and had the tools needed ready and available. I would definitely hire again.

I have worked with Mr. Lawrence for almost 15 years on everything! His professionalism is remarkable and he had done all kinds of work for me from painting, roofing, drywall, renovations, and carpeting. He is my first point of contact no matter what the project entails.

Where do I start? I'll start by saying I originally hired another contractor on Thumbtack to install porcelain tile in our master bathroom and it was the worse experience I've had. I hired Leo to fix the mess the other contractor left and I will say I'm 100% satisfied. Leo did more in two days than the previous contractor did in a week. They first came in and laid out paper on my downstairs hardwood floors and stairs to avoid stains. Then they laid out plastic on my upstairs carpet and other furniture to avoid getting dust all over everything. True professionalism! The final product came out better than I expected. After completion of the job, they cleaned up all of the material and got rid of all of the excess waste. We were so pleased with the job, we asked for quotes on other projects that we want to get done. I will definitely be hiring Leo for all of my home improvement projects. And trust me, there are many!

I was so impressed with the two-man crew who came to do the work at my house. They were thorough, careful, and checked in with me throughout the job to make sure I was satisfied. Even when I decided that I needed one more coat of paint to cover my formerly very dark cabinets, they willingly complied. They were able to achieve a ceiling repair that most other contractors had said would be much more difficult. They handled it like a breeze. I like the little touches, like going out to their truck on a smoke break, rather than smoking anywhere near the house. I will definitely use this company again !!

Eric was very prompt to respond and very kind to work with. He remodeled my 1980's master bathroom ad brought it up to date with new tile and installing a new vanity. He also added a recessed light in the shower and new shower fixtures. Eric was very knowledgeable and quick to answer any questions my wife and I had throughout the project. He finished before schedule even with some of the last minute changes I had. I've already had Eric back for some smaller projects throughout the house and plan on using him in the future for my guest bathroom remodel soon.

Where do I start, Alex did so much on my renovation project. I recently purchased a home and wanted coffered ceilings added to the kitchen, basement and living room...I sent pictures to Alex and asked if he could do it. He said, YES I CAN! And yes he did, he not only did extensive trim molding but took up all the carpet on the second floor added hardwood flooring and to top it all off he completed a bathroom tile renovation for me as well. He added a wood tile to my fireplace it is absolutely "breath taking" and backsplash to my kitchen. He can do it ALL!!! If you hire him you won't be disappointed!!! Excellent Work!!!

I commissioned a custom piece that would hold curated pieces from various trips around the world the cabinet turned out fantastic and is truly a one of a kind piece. The only complaint I have is that the piece looks so good I'm going to have to remodel my entire kitchen cabinetry now.

He (and crew) were fantastic: Always responsive, provided professional input to help with the design, and the end-result was perfect. I highly recommend DeAngello and his company and will be using him for any future projects.

Q & A

Bathroom remodeling doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Before starting a bathroom remodel it’s crucial to know what you want and have a clear understanding of your maximum budget. If you’d love all marble fixtures but have $3,000 total, you will have to compromise. Being realistic about materials and money before you even contact a contractor will have you on the road to success. Here are some simple steps to follow in the planning stages of bathroom remodeling:

Calculate what you can realistically afford to spend on your bathroom remodel. Identify an “all in” price — meaning the absolute maximum you’re willing to pay, as well as what you’d prefer to spend.

Gather ideas from Pinterest about colors and finishes.

Research the costs of the materials and finishes you want and begin making choices about what is and isn’t possible to fit into your budget (once labor is included). If you’d like to stay under $10,000 total, but really love a $2,000 tub, plan to downgrade in other areas.

Request quotes from at least three reputable general contractors, share your vision and ideal materials, and work together from there.

If you’re stumped on how to plan a bathroom remodeling project, it pays to hire a designer. This is especially important if you’re changing your bathroom layout in any way. Designers create contractor-friendly drawings indicating exactly where each tile and fixture will be installed, down to the light switches. This investment might cost you $300-$500 but save you significant frustration and miscommunication, while ensuring you get precisely what you want.

If you’re going to do your own design, planning a bathroom remodeling project means being organized and planning ahead. Create a general outline of what you want and the budget you have. Identify the specific fixtures, tiles, paint and vanity you prefer. Get all this organized before requesting quotes from two to three reputable general contractors. Once you find the right pro, get a written contract outlining scope of work, materials that will be used, timeframe and payment schedule. Communicate clearly about when to order your materials so they are ready and waiting by the time the contractor gets the permits. Your job from here is to communicate clearly, pay the contractor as the work progresses, and enjoy your remodel when it’s done.

With proper planning and a good general contractor, your bathroom remodeling project doesn’t have to take forever. The construction phase of the project will always vary based on your scope of work, the square footage and the condition of your bathroom under the surface layer. Inevitably an 80-square-foot master bathroom with major changes will take longer than a 25-square-foot guest bath undergoing a minor renovation. For a smaller bathroom, a facelift — the industry term for sprucing up the surface layer (such as paint, vanity, tiles or light fixtures) but keeping the existing footprint of the space — may take five to eight working days, as long as there are no surprises like mold waiting when the old vanity comes out. A more complex bathroom remodel that revamps the shower area (customizing the plumbing, installing tile and changing the shower door), updates the flooring and cabinetry, and adds new paint and new lighting could take anywhere from one week to three weeks. A full bathroom remodel that guts the room, changing the footprint and moving the electrical wiring and plumbing lines, could take four to eight weeks or more. To keep your bathroom remodel on schedule, have your materials ordered and waiting, and don’t make any change orders once construction begins. Planning is key to keeping a bathroom remodel on schedule.

Nationally, the average cost of bathroom remodeling is $14,000. Bathroom remodels can vary widely, from standard makeovers to luxurious master bathroom revamps. The factors that affect your bathroom remodeling cost are the finishes you choose (marble tiles can cost 20 times as much as standard subway tiles), the square footage of the project, regional labor rates in your area and the scope of work. Changing the layout or size of the bathroom will also raise costs. Moving electrical wiring and plumbing lines will also dramatically increase costs, as you’ll need to hire plumbers and electricians to handle the work. What’s happening behind your walls and under your floor will also affect bathroom remodeling cost: Rot, damage or mold can lead to additional work and charges. Overall, bathroom remodeling may offer great return on investment and also improve your daily life. Here are some examples of average bathroom remodeling costs:

6-foot by 6-foot bathroom remodel: $3,500, including labor and materials.

Standard renovation: $6,500-$10,000. Price includes labor and materials the customer has purchased. Labor may include taking out the shower and shower pan, installing new shower pan and shower, and installing new door, new vanity, new mirror, new bathroom fan, and all new fixtures.

Price variation depends on the quality of the finishes.

10-foot by 6-foot bathroom remodel: $7,200, including labor and materials.

Mid-range renovation: $12,000-$15,000. Price includes labor and materials the customer has purchased.

The professional best equipped to handle bathroom remodeling is a general contractor. A general contractor is typically licensed by the state or region in which they work to carry out home remodeling projects. To receive licensing, they must generally demonstrate their knowledge of construction and building and safety codes. General contractors act as the organizer for the entire bathroom remodeling project, ensuring that each element (new tile, shower pan replacement, lighting installation, etc.) is completed at the appropriate time by the proper contractor. Before hiring a general contractor, it’s wise to do your research. In addition to getting several competitive bids, here are questions to ask:

May I see before-and-after photos of some of your recent bathroom remodels?

Will I need permits for this project? Do you apply for those?

May I see proof of insurance and licenses?

Can we have a written contract outlining scope of work, budget and timeline?
